Gérald Ferblantier

Gérald Ferblantier serves as an Associate Professor at the University of Strasbourg within the ICube research institute's MATISEN team (Materials for information technology, sensing and energy conversion). His contact details include email gerald.ferblantier@unistra.fr and phone +33 (0) 38810 6330, with office location at ICube, 23 rue du Loess, Strasbourg.

His research spans Photovoltaics, Materials Science, and Nanomaterials, focusing on semiconductor physics, solar energy conversion mechanisms, and atomic-scale modeling. Key areas include organic/silicon photovoltaic systems, III-V semiconductor integration, diamond materials for high-brightness applications, and laser processing techniques for solar cells, reflecting interdisciplinary work bridging electronics, sensing, and energy technologies.

Ferblantier coordinates major research initiatives such as PROOF (Interreg V organic photovoltaic panels) and FERROPV (ANR ferroelectric photovoltaics), alongside 15+ national projects including PHOTOSOLV (non-toxic solvents) and MONODIAM-HE (diamond crystals). He supervises CIFRE PhD students on industry-collaborative topics like III-V semiconductor integration for Thalès and laser annealing for STMicroelectronics.

His academic network encompasses CEA-LETI, Fraunhofer ISE, KIT, and Georgia Tech Lorraine, with industrial partnerships at STMicroelectronics, Photowatt, and Solarforce. He participates in consortia including Alsace Énergivie, FedPV, and the OTAN Science for Peace network, driving cross-border innovation in renewable energy materials.
